The airframe is now out in the sun so that I can identify a few more surface imperfections that need to be smoothed. It seems every time I get the surface smoothed and then topcoat primer filler I find four or five more spots needing dressing. When will it ever end? As a friend told me, you just have to know when to say enough is enough. I am very happy that I will be leaving the surface in primer for now. It can get painted once I get it in the air again and all improvements completed.
Here you can follow the progress of a complete rebuild of my Quickie Q2 with a Revmaster 2100D (65HP) aircraft engine. I severely damaged the aircraft in an off airport (highway) forced landing due to a separated (spliced) mixture cable. Also my VISION aircraft build is at: https://calvinthorne2.blogspot.ca

Engine fitted and firewall forward all connected.
It sure takes more time than you expect to get these projects nearing completion. I just finished getting the rebuilt Revmaster2100D engine mounted and all hooked up once again. This all went quite quickly as I had done it before. I like the compactness of this airframe and engine combination, however it makes for a few bruised knuckles at times!
